Patent EP-0910863-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HODGSON CRAIG W
IPC: H04B10/17
Filed: 1997-07-10
Abstract: L'invention permet d'améliorer considérablement le rapport entre le signal et le bruit (SNR) dans un groupement optique passif comprenant des détecteurs (110) échelonnés entre un bus de distribution (100) et un bus de retour (120). Des amplificateurs (130, 132) constitués par des fibres optiques dopées à l'erbium sont contenus dans les bus à proximité de chaque couplage en échelon afin de déplacer les pertes dues à la scission du coupleur. Les gains des amplificateurs sont sélectionnés de manière à déplacer les pertes dues aux couplages. On peut maintenir le rapport SNR sans dégradation importante même pour des nombres élevés de détecteurs. Dans un aspect de l'invention, les amplificateurs sont situés le long des bus de distribution et de retour directement après les coupleurs (140, 142), à l'exception du dernier coupleur. Dans un deuxième aspect, les amplificateurs sont situés directement avant chaque coupleur. Ces amplificateurs optiques sont, de préférence, fabriqués en de courtes longueurs de fibres dopées à l'erbium et épissées dans les bus de distribution et de retour.

Abstract: Procédé permettant de placer une fonction logique dans les blocs de fonction d'un dispositif logique programmable complexe de manière à maintenir les mêmes emplacements de broches d'entrée/sortie une fois la fonction logique modifiée ultérieurement par l'utilisateur. Ledit procédé repose sur une fonction de pondération destinée à assigner des parties de la fonction logique aux blocs de fonction de telle manière que des ressources suffisantes soient disponibles dans chaque bloc de fonction pour mettre en oeuvre les modifications ultérieures de la fonction logique sans changer les emplacements des broches d'entrée et de sortie initialement assignés. Pour chaque partie de la fonction logique, la fonction de pondération est employée pour identifier le bloc de fonction qui met en oeuvre ladite partie, tout en maximisant les ressources disponibles dans tous les blocs de fonction. Si une équation particulière ne peut être placée, ledit procédé fait appel à une mesure de correction telle que l'affinage de placement, la mise en mémoire tampon et la reformulation logique pour placer cette équation. Si l'équation ne peut toujours pas être placée, la fonction de pondération est modifiée, ce qui modifie les critères par lesquels les parties logiques sont assignées aux blocs de fonction. Le procédé de placement est ensuite répété avec la fonction de pondération modifiée.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a photocatalytic composition
which comprises at least one compound selected from a group consisting
of polycyclic aromatic compounds and carbazole derivatives, both of
which contain as substitutes at least any of hydroxy group, optionally-substituted
aralkyloxy group or alkoxy group and having an UV
absorption spectrum at a wavelength longer than 330 nm, and at least
one aryl onium salt selected from a group consisting of diphenylalkylsulfonium
salts, dinaphthylalkylsulfonium salts, triphenylsulfonium salts,
diphenyliodonium salts, phenylnaphthyliodonium salts and
dinaphthyliodonium salts, those which perform as a catalyst for
cationic photopolymerization. 
     The photocatalytic composition according to the present invention
can be cured by admixing it with a cationically-polymerizable compound
in the presence of an actinic radiation, such as light, electron beam
and X-ray. Furthermore, as the photocatalytic composition can be cured
under light of which wavelength is longer than 330 nm, where
triphenylsulfonium salts and diphenyliodonium salts have either no or
very little absorption spectrum, curing speed of the clear composition
tend to be remarkably accelerated, while the photocuring of the
composition containing an additive such as a pigment can be achieved
effectively. Therefore, the photocatalytic composition of the present
invention is suitably applicable to photocurable coating materials,
adhesives, inks and photoresist, photosensitive resins for
stereolithography, and so on.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of regulating TNF activity indirectly by regulating the activity or concentration of TNF receptor releasing enzyme (TRRE). Preferably, the TRRE activity is regulated local to the site of the condition to be treated. In the case of diseases associated with elevated levels of TNF, such as rheumatoid arthritis, TRRE is administered to the site of inflammation in an amount sufficient to decrease the local levels of TNF. In the case of diseases, such as cancer, that benefit from increased levels of TNF, the level of TRRE is decreased at the disease site.

lifted position of said movable frame, so that said
signal emitted by said transducing means goes back
within the limit of the reference value/s, thus indicating

Abstract: The device has a steel structure, composed of various parts, which
functions by sliding along a linear plate delimited by two tracks (6).
It can be placed directly on the ground or on a raised metal structure
and has a piece of heated sheet metal at its base in order to speed up
the drying process of the concrete. 
     The device, which is particularly easy to use, enables one to rapidly
produce series of concrete section bars for floors with technical
characteristics that may vary with the substitution of moulding tubes
(21). The moulding tubes (21) may be simply substituted by other tubes
of different shapes and sizes, without the need to make any further
adjustments to the system. The moulding motion of the section bar is
ensured by a gearmotor (2) which, through means of a cam (11), pushes a
comb (20) which compacts the material every time it is deposited by the
hopper (17). The hollow interior of the section bar is ensured by the
vibration of an appropriately shaped set of cores (22). The outside
dimensions are defined by two side plates (24) and an upper plate (29),
while the product being worked rests on a lower plate.
